OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on August 3, 2011 at 12:47am: Proudsistah, I am so very happy for your Sailor. I prayed this Sunday that all SR in this group would pass this week. When I read your announcement I cried. It made my day.

HM,.. I can't wait to hear the good news that your daughter passed her PFA.

Comment by Sharon-Proud Sailor Mom on August 2, 2011 at 11:43pm: Most aren't allowed a call or FB until they've completed B/S. Contgratulations Proudsistah! It took me about a week to absorb all the happiness and relief!

HM - we're still praying for you to get your call!!!

Comment by Proudsistah on August 2, 2011 at 9:54pm: Omg sandy!!! There u go! You just described it :) i really cant eat! I just spoke to her but really quick!!

Comment by HM__Mom Ruth on August 2, 2011 at 8:19pm: Need that to send personal message I think.

Comment by HM__Mom Ruth on August 2, 2011 at 8:19pm: I have sent friend request.

Comment by Proudsistah on August 2, 2011 at 8:05pm: Mom ruth- please send me a personal message with ur daughter's last name! I will ask about ur daughter as soon as my sis calls... I am praying that ur daughter passed her PFA as welll! I got the feeling that she did!

Comment by tks4 on August 2, 2011 at 7:05pm: Proudsistah that is wonderfurl :)

Comment by HM__Mom Ruth on August 2, 2011 at 7:02pm: Yeah! I'm so glad she passed.

If she didn't get a call yesterday, it is still possible that my girl passed as well. Keeping my fingers crossed. If not, I still have some wick on my blue candle.

Comment by Proudsistah on August 2, 2011 at 7:00pm: Mom Ruth-She havent called yet... She posted on FB "I made it! Just took me 9 months"
She told us if dont hear from her monday she passed! Oh my!!!!

Comment by HM__Mom Ruth on August 2, 2011 at 6:49pm: Proudsistah,

Did she call yesterday to say she had passed the PFA? My daughter has been certain that she could call after passing the PFA, but from what I have read, sometimes they can't call until after battlestations.
